The CL900 will do DC current using the clamp and doesn't cost very much more...
I think you maybe be misunderstanding what @sunshine_eggo was saying. The CL800 does DC current as well. He was just explaining that the CL800 is a little more expensive in part because it does DC current. (I also have a CL800)
Ah yes that’s right. I think as you go up the Klein clamp meter lineup the CL800 is the first one that will do DC current using the clamp.

The Klein CL800 does not do inrush, but the CL900 does - https://www.amazon.com/Resistance-C...r&qid=1701017054&sprefix=cl900,aps,149&sr=8-1
I actually have both of those meters (and A Fluke 175 which I trust more but with no clamp for current). I think they are not far apart, but I trust the Klein a bit more. I'm pretty sure neither has a true inrush feature, but they both have a "max". The max measurement can vary quite a bit because it is dependent on when it samples relative to when the actual inrush happens. I've used the Klein with a half dozen or more measurements of inrush on a well pump, and got something pretty close to what I would expect the inrush to be.Just reading this thread, looking for a deal during the fake-sales weekend and was wondering if Klein tools is a better brand than Ames. I see Klein Tools at Lowes, Ames at Harbor Freight, trying to pick one up today as I'm tired of the inaccurate readings I'm getting with my current multimeter.
